BKLFox Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 The sun is doing some crazy shite to some of you, he's 26, right footed, as slow as YV & still has 3yrs on his contract so will come with a hefty price tag but Rodgers has said firstly before signing YV for 15m he didn't want to spend that much on a back up or have him at YV's age but at the time we became hand-tied, what he said then & now is he wanted a left footer, he wanted him young to grow into a partnership with Wes, he wanted speed & aggression from the player. Even JB has re-read the tweet & thought hang on i've been had, its probably STH naming us to gee Napoli along, just don't understand the name calling off the back of a very dubious link 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relative answer in Armarty was under his nose but he'd never really given him a try. Whilst ideally only back up, you'd have Armarty over Vestergaard every day of the week or even someone from the u23s. Vestergaard has been around for years, it was obvious to almost anyone that he can't play in a high line. Wes Morgan with his bad back would have made a better fist of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hands were tied, the plan was to take a young up'n'comer to act as 4/5th back up but the w/end before the season started we lost Wes & for the season (at the time) we were now down to 1 snr CB (Cags) with Evans struggling & Armarty who hadn't been proven in the position because he was behind Wes, Evans & Cags the season before so hadn't really been tested. He had to opt for a seasoned CB & at that point (a few days before the start of the season) there wouldn't have been that many CBs being touted around for 15m or under 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 Reading online, apparently Southampton are interested in signing Levi Cowill and have to clear out their deadwood to raise funds. They're probably thinking they will sell him for a huge profit to Liverpool or Man city in 4 years time...which seems the philosophy of their new owners Sport Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 Southampton had it made. It doesn't matter who they sign, if they turn out decent they sell them to Liverpool for a financial gain.

Bringing someone in ahead of of Evans is exactly what we should be doing! Evans is at the end of his career and injury prone. We saw that last season and he most certainly won't figure for large parts of the season once he gets injured again.

Jobyfox Posted 13 July 2022 Share Posted 13 July 2022 I was excited this evening when I saw we'd actually been linked to someone. Then I delved further. If there is any credibility to this rumour, given the context also of the Bertrand and Vestergaard signings last season , then Brendan, his entire coaching staff, John Rudkin, the entire recruitment team, every statistician, Susan Whelan and even the f'kin tea lady should be sacked with immediate effect!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This smacks of a newly promoted side looking for prem experience. We should be doing alot better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
